[a nice clean as-new copy]. (Contemporary Film and Television Series) Series Trade PB From the Introduction: "This book offers an extended analysis of King Kong, one of the best-known characters ever produced by the Hollywood cinema, and a figure repeatedly activated in art and mass culture, both in the United States and abroad." As such, only Chapter 1 deals with the production and initial release of the original 1933 film; the nature of the rest of the book can easily be gleaned from the chapter titles. Chapter 2: "Camera Adventure, Dangerous Contact: Documentaries and Genre Traditions behind KING KONG." Chapter 3: "Monstrous Returns in the Postwar Context: MIGHTY JOE YOUNG and GODZILLA." Chapter 4: "GORILLA QUEEN and Other Tales: Male Spectatorship and the KING KONG Parodies."
